Free agent outfielder is expected to mi s the entire season, Francys Romero. The Ildemaro Vargas Jersey veteran in October that repaired a fracture and a disc injury in his lower back. While there was no initial timetable, Romero suggests that Garca is targeting a return in winter ball in his native Venezuela next offseason. Garca signed a four-year, $53MM free agent deal with the Marlins over the 2021-22 offseason. That was a complete misfire on the part of Miamis front office. Garca hit .217/.260/.322 in 153 games over two and a half seasons. Miami released him last June, a little more than halfway through the contract. He had hit .240/.255/.380 over 18 games in 2024. The Marlins still owe Garca a decent chunk of money. Hell collect a $12MM salary this year and will be paid a $5MM option buyout at seasons end. $17MM salary is Miamis only bigger commitment. Garca would have been limited to minor league offers if he were healthy. If his recovery goes as planned, he could pursue a non-roster invite to Spring Training in 2026. Hed be entering his age-35 season. Seth Romero Jersey
